A quarantine period means that a Fighter cannot take part in any competition in Full Contact event no matter what the discipline is.
The quarantine periods are "minimum period" and cannot be overruled even though a head scan shows no
visible injuries.
The Referee will tell the Jury and Judges to mark KO or RSC-H or RSC on their score sheets, when he or Referee has
stopped the bout due to the Fighters inability to resume the fight because of head blows. The same has to be reported
by the Chief Referee on duty in the fighter's LICENCE. This is also the official result of the
fight and it cannot be overruled.
Before resuming Combat Sambo after a ban, as described in the above , a Fighter will, after a special medical
examination, have to be declared fit to take part in competition by a sports doctor.

The CSC will listen to all matters brought to them in regards to the sport, to find the best solution to any problem.

CSC will develop formats to help Combat Sambo expand.

CSC will implement a competitor advancement structure. The reason for this is so that a novice doesn't fight an advanced

fighter.

Class in any full contact sport, eg Boxing, MMA, Kick or Thai boxing). B Class Fighter ( a fighter that has had 6 wins in C
Class in any full contact sport), A Class Fighter ( a fighter that has had 6 wins in B class in any full contact sport).
